About Rudys Rescue

Dear Fellow Dog Lover,

I would like to introduce you to Rudy’s Rescue. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization with a 501 (C) (3) tax exempt status. You probably know that Labrador Retrievers have long been one of the most popular breeds of dogs. What you might not know—and what you might find hard to believe, is that many of them end up homeless, abandoned, surrendered, and/or in need of being rescued from “kill shelters” and puppy mills. That’s what we here at Rudy's Rescue focus our efforts on - saving these deserving dogs who, through no fault of their own, have been cast aside and/or left to live a life lacking in love and kindness.

This process involves transporting, fostering, temperament testing, appropriate medical care as needed, including spaying and neutering, and finally adoption into a loving forever home. Our wish is that someday every animal will have a safe and loving place to call home and we will no longer be needed. You may see our mission statement, success stories (including Winchester, pictured above, who has found a loving forever home) and information on the many Labs we are currently fostering at www.rudysrescue.org.

Sincerely,
Amy P. Holtz
Founder and CEO

“Dedicated to turning one person’s trash into another person’s treasure”

Happy Ending Tails

Lily


Lily is a chocolate lab who came to live with us after her stint in a puppy mill. Initially, she was very shy and easily frightened. She was readily accepted into our home by our three cats and our other dog, a 3 year old golden retriever mix. We immediately saw positive changes with Lily, more confidence and less fear. She loves going on walks and rides in the car, she is just a joy to have around. We recently completed a "clicking to calm" course designed to reduce fear by rewarding desired behaviors. She enjoys working with the clicker, and has really responded well to the training! While she was once fearful of strangers, she will now approach them and allow them to pet her! She is a lovely girl, and we are thankful we can offer her the kind of life she deserves.
